About Pangea Foundation
Pangea Foundation was created with one goal in
mind: To bring state-of-the-art technology
to schools and community organizations. These
groups are historically among the last to
receive breakthrough technologies. Our goal
is to change that. Since its inception in
1996, Pangea Foundation has been developing
solutions that ensure all segments of the
community enjoy the vast benefits of technology,
particularly those underserved by traditional
institutions. We work closely with schools
and community-based organizations to implement
technology solutions that strengthen their
efforts to serve their communities. For more
